Our first in-person conference in 20 months is underway and off to a great start. About 110 signed up, with half registered to attend in person and half scheduled to watch the recorded presentations afterwards.
The event kicked off yesterday with an afternoon of golf that Chiefs Mitch Hicks and Mark Chase organized. Players were rewarded with some great donated prizes. The Board meetings took place this morning with information and updates from OACP members and partnering agencies. After a filling barbecue lunch, afternoon presentations began (pictures will be posted later). We also had our two sponsors, Harbortech Mobility and SPIDR Tech, share information about their products and service.
